Squint and you'll see the teen Robin on the fence framed by sunflowers. |
What draws these winged messengers of happy tunes at this time of year is our front-yard Choke Cherry tree. That tree is another story. We discovered that it suckers (information not in the property disclosure when we bought the house). Not just a few here and there, but enough that on-line searches say the only way to deal with the suckers is to remove the tree. Pluses of the Choke Cherry are its lovely blossoms in the Spring, the dark chocolate leaves that match the house trim and the black, large-pit choke cherries--breakfast, dinner and dessert to the Robins.
Choke Cherry: a feast for the Robins |
At least the robins are happy.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you have robins, it's best that they are happy, so they can sing the prettiest songs ever,
And you certainly must have happy ones- if you have flocks of them!
